Abstract
The early work experience of youth has been shown in numerous studies to have an effect on adult work experience and earnings. The experiences of Hispanic youth in the labor market are quite important for their own future well-being and not just a temporary youthful phenomenon. Understanding the work experience of Hispanic youth is a necessary component in helping us to understand Hispanic families in our society. What happens to Hispanic youth as they move from school to work raises crucial policy issues that directly impact the quality of life of Hispanic families. The focus of this study is Hispanic youth and their patterns of school and labor force participation. The interest is to explore the social policy implications of their transition from school to early labor force participation. In this paper the school and labor force status of Hispanic youth will be analyzed and compared with white and black youth. From these findings, policy implications and recommendations will be discussed.
